Don't Lady Wayne count then?

We have a demented budgerigar (aren't ALL budgies brain-free though?) He's called Primrose and he's a noisy little beggar but lovely with it.

I have Jules a rescued Spaniel x Whippet. It's a shame I can't post a pic because you wouldn't believe it. Think Spaniel head, whippet body and ears which, though vaguely spaniel-like, look as if they've been tacked on as an afterthought, by someone in a big, big hurry and who'd forgotten their specs that day. We took him in as a companion for our Labrador, my lovely, lovely Theo who sadly passed away in October. We now also have Theo's daughter, Freya (Theo and my friend's dog had a bit of a romance one Christmas Eve.....there was wine, there were presents, we were distracted and the kids thought that allowing them to play together 'just for ten minutes' wouldn't hurt) She's obviously half Labrador then part staffy plus a lot of mongrel, but since we lost Theo it's just so lovely to have her around and Jules appreciates the company. She's known by all as Freya the Slayer, but this is ironically given as she's really soft.

Then we have Dylan the rabbit. As in; "Can I have a rabbit, Mum......Please, I'll look after it and everything...." To be fair the reason we have him is because he's now quite an elderly bunny and the kids didn't really abandon him when the novelty wore off it was more that they grew up and got married.
